2 Welcome & Grant Update Finalization of Work Plan Steering Committee Update & Charter Janine Logan, Senior Director, Communication & Population Health, Long Island Health Collaborative J. Logan, Senior Director, Communications & Population Health announced the final LIPHIP work plan was approved by the state on A copy of the work plan was sent to members on this date. Standardized language and a table of organization have been developed to bring clarity to the structure and processes of the PHIP. Standard Language: The Long Island Population Health Improvement Program (LIPHIP) is a New York State Department of Health grant-funded initiative designed to promote population health activities. LIPHIP is organized by the Nassau-Suffolk Hospital Council (NSHC), the membership association for all hospitals on Long Island. The core of the LIPHIP is an extensive workgroup of committed partners who agree to work together to improve the health of all Long Islanders. This workgroup consists of the two county health departments, all hospitals on Long Island, dozens of community-based health and social service organizations, academic institutions, health plans, and local municipalities, among other sectors. This workgroup, which has been meeting voluntarily since 2013 and pre-dates the state grant, calls itself the Long Island Health Collaborative (LIHC). The LIHC is key to ensuring that the efforts of the LIPHIP address the incidence of chronic diseases, especially those related to obesity, both from a prevention and treatment viewpoint. The second meeting of the LIPHIP steering committee took place Monday, September 28, At this meeting, the LIHPHIP Charter and Industry Partners Pledge were approved. The committee members discussed support for DSRIP and PPSs as well as expansion of partnerships with Community Based Organizations and community engagement. C. Hendriks, Vice President, Public and External Affairs, reported on several Public Education, Page 2 of 8

3 Public Education, Outreach & Community Engagement Academic Group Outreach & Community Engagement efforts. K. Whitehead, Communications Specialist, LIPHIP has submitted a Request for Proposal for the LIPHIP website to several web design vendors. The subcommittee has provided input as to what the wants and needs for the development of this site should be. A plan is in place for identifying walking opportunities and they will be listed on our website and promoted through the LIPHIP. K. Whitehead is currently building a member directory for LIPHIP staff members. In addition, the committee is built upon members who are involved in boots to the ground efforts. Dr. Laurel Janssen-Breen, Professor of Community Health Nursing, St. Joseph s College, reported on ongoing activities led by the Academic Group. Laurel has developed a Student Practicum Opportunity that will be distributed to all LIPHIP members: In partnership with the Academic Partners Sub-Committee of the Long Island Health Collaborative (LIHC), and under the supervision of an academic preceptor, the following learning opportunity will be offered during the Fall 2015 semester. Creating and analyzing the results of an online survey of LIHC members aimed at assessing and cataloging: (1) potential clinical sites, non-clinical practicums and paid internships for students (2) opportunities for collaborative scholarship with faculty and (3) potential academic partners across Nassau and Suffolk County not yet represented in LIHC. Skills needed include the ability to: design and execute an online survey; collect, analyze and report data when survey is completed. Products, to be submitted by the end of the Fall semester include the survey, data summary and recommendations in a professional and usable format and an oral report to the Academic Partners Sub-Committee and/or general LIHC membership. J. Logan advised the committee that the Healthcare Association of New York is required to pay any student who works on-site of off-site for the LIPHIP from grant funding. Depending on the Page 3 of 8

4 school and program, some students may not be allowed to receive payment and college credits. L. Janssen-Breen will add option for clinical, internship, paid internships to the survey so that we know which students are available for paid internship opportunities. CLAS/Workforce The committee agrees that the easiest student-opportunity would involve students who are paid as an employee for small projects. We might see a better commitment from these students. J. Logan to work with Academic partners to iron out details and place students for practicum. S. Ravenhall, Program Manager PHIP, reported LIPHIP staff has developed a plan with Dr. Linda Efferen, Medical Director, Office of Population Health & Althea Williams, Senior Manager, Provider and Community Engagement, Stony Brook Medicine surrounding efforts to contribute to and support Stony Brook Medicine PPS DSRIP efforts related to CLAS and Workforce. S. Ravenhall will attend Suffolk Care Collaborate meeting on In addition, she will be notified of and attend future Cultural Competency Workgroup and Workforce Group. S. Ravenhall is currently investigating available train-the-trainer models for CLAS/HL/CC including the Greater NY Hospital Association program for LIPHIP members to attend and bring knowledge back to their represented organizations. N. Copperman, Director of Public Health Initiatives, North Shore LIJ, reported Nassau County had their first meeting in October. Dr. Jennifer H. Mieres, Senior Vice President of Office of Community and Public Health at North Shore-LI Jewish Health System, Inc. is the meeting Chairperson. The goal of the LIPHIP is to support PPS efforts while reducing overlap by avoiding duplication of work between LIPHIP partner members and ongoing efforts connected to DSRIP. Representatives from the complete streets and Nutrition and Wellness workgroups have joined Page 4 of 8

5 Complete Streets/Nutrition & Wellness forces to streamline projects that parallel and have the potential to overlap. N. Copperman reinforces the prioritization of working together to leverage grant resources and increase efficiency. Workgroup members will contact S. Ravenhall and provide an overview of the multiple projects they lead. S. Ravenhall will create an action map for various initiatives so we can better align where LIPHIP resources can be utilized. Data Analysis A. Fangmann, Director of Programs, Sustainable Long Island reported there is a Complete Streets Focus Group in Wyandanch 9/30 at 4:30pm for all LIHC members who wish to attend. One of the many projects being addressed is Complete Streets in the Wyandanch community and Geiger Park. Additional progress is being made on signage that will engage community members and promote walkability. J. Logan reported the LIPHIP Data Analyst has been hired and will begin his position on October 19, The LIPHIP has contracted with Data Gen Healthcare Analytics who will provide complex and customized data analysis. Gloria Kupferman will attend the October LIPHIP meeting. Industry Partners Health Communities Institute Platform LIPHIP staff now has access to the Conference of Local Mental Hygiene Directors, Inc. Behavioral Health Portal. If any members are interested in acquiring data from this system, please contact S. Ravenhall. J. Logan and the members of the LIPHIP Steering Committee will work in conjunction to identify and engage potential industry partner members. This effort is continually ongoing. An update will be provided during the next meeting. S. Ravenhall presents the Healthy Communities Institute cloud-based platform to LIPHIP members. Many of our PHIP counterparts in New York have partnered with HCI to develop their website. This product provides a neutral forum for population health improvement work, community health improvement, organizational strategy and coalition-building. Interconnected Page 5 of 8

6 tools provide the foundation for this product, where the public would have access to data, promising practices, report running and CHNA tools. S. Ravenhall provided a demo and asks members if this product would be beneficial to their work or organization. N. Copperman explained that this is a tool originally used to develop hospital community needs assessments. The committee has questions about the depth of this data. It may be useful to only academics, students and potentially hospitals, however because this data is already readily available to the public, not worth the expense-particularly if we are working with Data Gen. Additional suggestions for data investigation include: LI Index from Rauch Foundation Involve J. Kraut, Senior Vice President, Strategy and Business Informatics, North Shore LIJ, on any discussion related to data as he has extensive experience in this field. DSMP Peer Leader Training The committee agreed: services provided by HCI are not unique enough to be valuable to the LIPHIP members and organizations. S. Ravenhall reported Volunteer Peer Leaders are wanted for a Stanford Chronic Disease Model program: Diabetes Self-Management Program training. This training is taking place at Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County in Riverhead, NY on October 13, 14 & 20, 21. The training is being co-sponsored by Cornell Cooperative Ext. of Suffolk County, Suffolk County DOH, Retired Senior Volunteer Program of Suffolk County, EAC Network & Hudson River HealthCare. Would having another Volunteer Peer Leader trained to facilitate Long Island programs be valuable to the committee? Page 6 of 8

7 Communications LIPHIP Newsletter Step It Up Campaign Social Update Grant Opportunities RWJF Cross-Jurisdictional Sharing (Kansas Health Dr. Linda Efferen, Medical Director, Office of Population Health, feels this would be valuable addition to LIPHIP resources and would support the PHIP work plan. This evidence based program was developed by Stanford Patient Education Research Center. Once trained, leaders are asked to lead a minimum of 2 workshops within a specified number of months. To maintain leader status, a peer leader must co-lead two 6 week community workshops per year. Two leaders are needed to facilitate one class and one must be a person living with a chronic disease or caring for a family member who has a chronic disease at home. K. Whitehead, Communications Specialist provided communications updates: Announced the development of a monthly newsletter, including meeting recaps and LIPHIP grant developments, meeting info, and member spotlights. To be distributed halfway between monthly LIPHIP meetings. Provided a quick recap of the Step It Up! The Surgeon General s Call to Action to Promote Walking and Walkable Communities, and live-tweeted the live-streamed announcement. Let members know there is a link to information on our site, and that we will include a more thorough recap with the available resources, including the next Step It Up webinar on October 15 th. Social Update: Informed members of the newly revamped social channels of the Long Island Health Collaborative. & Facebook: fb.com/lihealthcollaborative Noted to members that their individual social channels are already being promoted to the best of the PHIP staff s ability, and a call to both follow and like our branded social channels, with the promise of reciprocation. The LIPHIP staff explored the potential of applying for the Robert Woods Johnson Foundation Cross-Jurisdictional Sharing (KHI) Grant opportunity. Applications are due October 20, The Kansas Health Institute is specifically interested in the partnership between the two cross Page 7 of 8

8 Institute) America Walks Collaborative Micro Grant jurisdictional Departments of Health. Because both Departments of Health have been collaborating informally as LIHC members, parameters for collecting baseline data are not clear. T. Buchman, Director, Quality Improvement, Epidemiology, Nassau County Health Department, reports she applied for this grant several years ago. Collecting baseline data would not be a problem. She will send S. Ravenhall previous application Because this grant is for $75,000 with only 7 partnerships being funded, this competitive grant may not be aligned with our current priorities. Adjournment J. Logan announces America Walks Collaborative Micro Grants of $2,500 are being provided to organizations who have established walking programs in place. This money could be used to toward signage for the complete the Complete Streets Initiative. N. Copperman and A. Fangmann will investigate grant appropriateness and J. Logan will complete brief application if deemed appropriate. The next LIPHIP Meetings are scheduled for: 1. October 22, :30-11:30am 2. November 18, pm 3.
